It’s been a whole year, and what can I say
As all the bullshit unfolds and slowly melts away.
I’m giving it to you real.
The only way I can.
Not like the sugarcoated bitches,
Just trying to keep a man.
I’m opening up finally,
To reveal a brand new me.
I’m still the girl you fell for,
But so much more just wait and see.
We’ve been through the drama
On this fast track of life.
I can truly say it’s worth it
Through all our pain and strife.
I go back still to the times when I was blind,
Wondering so completely if you I’d ever find.
So many illusions on this road they all seemed right,
But they were wrong about us.
We were ready for the fight.
So many changes over such a small time.
Just waiting for it to crack,
Waiting for it to unwind,
You picked up the slack.
You never gave up.
When I came close to the edge,
You pulled me closer to your heart,
And reassured me everyday that no one would tear us apart.
I’ve been scared before,
And I’ll probably be scared again someday.
And despite it all you never fall away.
The saturdates we’ve shared,
When the world was ours,
But that illusion ended when I got out of the car.
I had to make a decision a choice that seemed so hard,
But balls to the wall I made it ,
Right into your heart .
Our fridates when we spill our guts of the week that’s tore us down
Or the painful memories in our closets lurking round.
I’ve have never had someone I could tell my heart to .
Everything about my heart,
Like shit upon my shoe.
I could ignore it for awhile ,
Then the smell would linger.
It was time to clean up the mess I’ve made,
And forgive the pain of sinners.
People still think they can rock us,
Through a wrench into our plan,
But we’ve got the ammo you’re ready to fire,
Stepping up to be a man.
They think because I’m an emotional creature,
That pity can win my desire.
Its so clear these tyrants just don’t know me.
They don’t know me anymore.
As a beautiful rose weathers in a pot to small to call her home,
You brought me back to nature,
So I may freely roam.
Although my thorns have pierced many times before,
Your gentleness concludes I don’t need them anymore.
The tenderness you’ve proven,
Through nurturing and care.
Your gentle caresses as you push back my flowing hair.
You have never hurt me or broke my heart.
I’m too strong for that now.
But still ,
I let down my guard,
I let you inside,
No longer afraid ,
Of anything you might find.
So now we begin to build the life we’ve always dreamed.
Our happily ever after is so now it seems.
No matter what we have each other.
You keep me warm in the cold winter night.
Beyond the frightening darkness,
Our love stands shining bright.
To see tomorrow,
Without fear or doubt.
I say I love you,
With no need to scream and shout.
To finally trust a man to take care of my needs.
And not worry about all those worldly things.
To be happily content knowing we must,
But never stop striving,
And always hold trust.
Hold trust in the palm of your hand
And place it on the table.
As it squirms around wondering why.
It curls up in a ball to try to hide.
It starts to open up,
It begins to tell you,
The things you’ve never heard,
With undisputed clarity,
Yet never says a word.
Love begins to grow from it.
Right before your eyes.
Emerging from the trust
Now quietly he lies.
As the love begins to breathe its first breath upon the cold table
She strains to open her eyes for the very first time
She looks to the left and sees a woman near
She glances to the right and the blurs become clear
Love is so fragile so elegantly new
She can only see completely if she sees the shadows of two
Now she is ready
She knows she will grow
Her roots are buried in trust
